Jazzed up tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwhiches



Jazzed up Tomato Soup

This is really easy...All I did was make a can of tomato soup to the directions.However instead of one can of milk I used half and half and milk. It makes is a little richer...but oh so yummy. Then i just chop in about 6 or 7 basil leaves add fresh groud pepper to taste. let it simmer for a few minutes.  Thats it!
When you go to serve it add a dolop of sour cream to the top and a little more fresh ground pepper.


Grilled Cheese Sandwhich

Another really easy sammy...I just cut up a baguette on the angle ( it looks a bit prettier ). For the cheese I used provolone and gruyere. It makes for a little sharper and nuttier taste. Butter the bread on both sides ( outside only )  then grill for a few minutes on both sides to a golden brown. These little sammy's are great for dipping into the soup!

Enjoy this one on a rainy day!
